CHARLES BANKS.
Sgt. (Bomb-aimer) R.A.F.

It was characteristic of Charles Banks to volunteer for the R.A.F. in November, 1941, after little more than a year in the drawing office of Messrs Blackstones, to whom he had gone as engineering apprentice. When he left school in the summer of 1940. Here he had always shown himself a " good citizen," and as such he took part in many operations over Germany, until on March 26th, 1944, his bomber was shot down. near Mauberge. Like so many others his life at school had followed the usual lines. Starting in IIIA in 1934, he gained his School Certificate in 1935, and after nearly two years in the Science VIth, decided to go into Engineering. Then came the call and he embarked on the hazardous life of a member of an air-crew, receiving part of his training in South Africa. Young though he was he stood the test and gave his life in the same cheerful spirit that he had shown during his school days. The blow of his death was made all the harder to his parents by the fact that his elder brother had already given his life in the War .

ALFRED GEORGE BOAM.
Flight Sergeant R.A.F.

Like so many of those who distinguished themselves as Rugby players at School, A. G. Boam joined the R.A.F. He left in 1940, and after a few months in the office of Messrs C. Miles & Sons, started his air-crew training, eventually reaching the rank of Flight Sergeant. In 1944 he was posted as missing and it was eventually discovered that his Lancaster bomber had been brought down on the night of May 8th, at Estime-ao-Val, about fifteen miles West of Charleroi, and that his body was buried at Chievres near Charleroi. We who can readily recall pictures of him throwing the whole of his weight and vigour into the fray on the School field can well imagine his zest for his work in the Air Force. He will be sadly missed by many, particularly by the members of the Town House amongst whom he was in every way an outstanding figure. We tender our most sincere condolences to his widowed mother.

ROBERT JOHN BROAD.
Sergeant R.A.F.

Whatever the season and whatever the game no school side was complete during the late years of his time at School without Bobby Broad, and no one got more happiness on the school fields, or showed it less than he did. There was nothing of the temperamental player about him. His opponents often discovered to their cost what lay behind that appearance of indifference. He started his school career as a day boy but when he entered the School House he was in his element.

On leaving school he entered Barclays Bank and was working at the Northampton branch when he joined the R.A.F. in 1941. He then went to Canada and the United States for his training as an airgunner. In July, 1943, the plane in which he was returning from North Africa, after towing Airborne troops to Sicily, was lost and has never been heard of since.

All our sympathy goes out to his widowed mother whose only child he was, in her iong-drawn out agony of suspense and in her bereavement.

Extract from The Stamfordian, Vol. 13 No 6. Spring and Summer Terms, 1945:

MICHAEL ANDREW BROGAN.
Wing Commander R.A.F., D.F.C.

Michael Brogan was the eldest of the four members of his family who made their names famous at school as footballers and good fellows. He left School in 1929, and when War broke out he was working for a firm of flour millers in London, having in the interim been out in Canada where he attended McGill University. He gained his commission in the R.A.F. in December, 1941, and as a Flight Lieutenant was awarded the D.F.C. for his personal courage and devotion to duty in attacking some of the most heavily defended targets in Germany. On his last operation on March 4th, 1945, he was engaged in taking spies out to Denmark when his plane was shot down over Jutland, where he is buried.

All those who know the Brogan family will realise what the loss of one member means to the others, particularly to Mrs. Brogan, whose health for along time has not been good. He also leaves a widow, formerly Miss Audrey Blackstone, to mourn him.

WILLIAM FREDERICK HIRCOCK.
Fhght Sergeant R.A.F.

When he left School in 1939, after five years as a member of the Country House, he spent some time in business in Leicester,after which he volunteered for service in the R.A.F. In 1942 he went for Training to Canada, where he gained his " Wings" as a Fighter Pilot, eventually joining the 130th Squadron for service in a Spitfire. In the evening of June 24th, 1944, his Squadron was engaged over the Normandy beach head and as they turned for home in the dusk were attacked by an enemy night fighter, which hit Bill Hircock's aircraft and sent it down in a spin. All hope that he might have been picked up had eventually to be abandoned.

Officers of his squadron wrote to his father and mother, whose only son he was, testifying his value to his unit as a Flight Sergeant and we who knew him here more fully than ever what qualities there are in those who while at School rise to no place of outstanding prominence but who play their part at School even though they rise no higher than gaining a School Certificate or representing their House at Rugby or Cricket.

Extract from The Stamfordian, Vol. 13 No 6. Spring and Summer Terms, 1945:

GRAHAM D. L. MACHIN
(F/O R.A.F.)

After five years in the School House he left us from the Lower Sixth just before the War broke out with the intention of becoming articled to an architect in his home town of Gloucester. On the outbreak cf War lie worked in the Drawing Office of Rotol .Mrscrews Ltd., until he was old enough to join the R.A.F. After training at Torquay and Aberystwyth he went to Canada and Florida where he gained his "Wings" as a Fighter Pilot. On returning to England in January, 1942, he did some Coastal Patrol work and next year was stationed mostly at Oddiham, Hants, from which base he went on " trainbusting " and photographic flights across the Channel. On November 9th, 1943, he failed to return and after many months of torturing suspense news was received that his body was buried in Normandy, at Rennes.

The many who were at school with him can well imagine the spirit of philosophical resignation with which he would accejit the duties with which the War confronted him and set out on his lonely flights across the sea and over enemy held territory. Only men of special qualities of character can stand the strain of such tasks. Small wonder that such men are the heroes of small boys. Perhaps those who are older have an even fuller realization of what men like Graham Machin have done for us.
